ABSTRACT
Ruthenocene amphetamine analogues have the same brain uptake as iodo-labelled amphetamines. This paper compares the organ-distribution of 103Ru labelled ruthenocene- or ferrocene-amphetamine analogues in mice and rats with the same amphetamine in which H-atoms were partly substituted by D-atoms. The uptake in the brain is increased up to 180-200% for deuterium substituted compounds. The pattern of excreted metabolites leads to the conclusion that the deuterated amphetamines are more slowly metabolised than normal (H) compounds.
